Post #417,969 by malraux 5/1/17 9:55:59 AM 5/1/17 9:55:59 AM Reply	That wasn't always the case. DO has a lot of other services as well. It's worth a comparison. I've not had any issues with DO going down either, but that was a problem for a while with Linode. This node is $6/mo including backups. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

I moved my mail from a dedicated (but failing) server to an AWS EC2 instance a couple of years ago. Since I use an IMAP server, it was dead easy to make another connection from my client, then it was a moderately careful drag-and-drop. Walk away and come back in an hour or so. (Don't use MS's Email clients - they don't like large IMAP mailboxes. I used Opera Mail which copes with mailboxes in the tens of thousands of messages - and likely way beyond.) Wade.
